PARKS FOR THE ELDERLY

Benefits A special space for enjoyment in a park, so that not only the elderly, but also persons

with disabilities or special needs, can benefit from its use.

These parks are designed to promote sports activities, improving people's autonomy in

an environment that is conducive to socialising.

Help people to overcome mobility restrictions. Provide coordination, balance, mobility

and strength exercises, which all have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system.

Stimulate physical and cognitive abilities for the prevention and treatment of

musculoskeletal deterioration.

Exercise and rehabilitate various joints according to the apparatus used; thus helping to

maintain or increase joint mobility, improve muscle strength, reduce cholesterol levels

and weight control ... in short, to optimize the quality of life.

Provide a sense of comfort that is not just physical but also psychological, as they

encourage socialising among users, creating a joyful atmosphere that helps improve

self-esteem and prevent symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anxiety, loneliness, etc.

Prevent possible accidents, fractures or injuries.

Physiotherapists are not required to be in attendance in these parks.

Suitable locations:

Public parks

Beaches

Retirement homes

Day centres

Social centres

The ageing of the population is a growing phenomenon worldwide. Falling birth rates and

longer life expectancy mean that the over-65s currently make up more than 17% of the

European population. This population group is among the most varied of all segments, in terms

of aspects such as physical-functional, behavioural, social aspects and the physical

environment. For these reasons, as a manufacturer of equipment for special parks for the

elderly, we are committed to ensuring that all our designs take the needs and preferences

of elderly persons into account and are easy to use. In short, we strive to ensure that our

products cater for the needs and expectation of our senior citizens.

We must bear in mind that 70% of the population aged over 65 have no disabilities. However,

the ageing process produces physical, sensory and cognitive changes that make it progressively

difficult to use certain articles and can thus hinder the performance of daily activities. Our

products are designed to take these considerations into account.

Purpose

The intended purpose of the parks is to prevent and treat deterioration of the muscles and bone

structure.

Exercises work on:

Coordination

Balance

Mobility

Strength

Exercising the arms: Shoulder wheel:

This works on the circumduction of the shoulder,

performing a full shoulder movement and rotation of the

scapula. Its aim is to rehabilitate, maintain or increase the

mobility of the shoulder joint and alleviate a range of

dysfunctions of the scapula-humeral joint.

Finger ladder:

Increases the breadth of shoulder movements and exercises the fingers. The aim is to flex the

arms with the elbow extended. This helps conditions such as arthrosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Each ladder has a finish (pointed or rounded) and a different distance between the steps in order

that different exercises can be performed.

Prono-supinator:

Exercises the upper joints by prono-supination movements of the elbow and circumduction of

the wrist. Its aim is to improve a range of dysfunctions of the upper radiocubital articulation,

and to maintain or increase wrist flexibility.

www.ortotecsa.com

Página 7 de 20

Spring:

Works on the flexibility of the arm and wrist. Its aim is to rehabilitate, maintain or

increase the flexibility of the wrist and arm and wrist.

Flexo-extensor-Prono-supinator:

Works on the flexibility of the wrist and forearm, by performing a range of

flexing-extension and prono-supination exercises. Its aim is to rehabilitate,

maintain or increase the flexibility of the wrist and forearm.

Spiral circuit:

Works on the circumduction of the arm and shoulder through spiral

movement exercises. Its aims are to rehabilitate, maintain or increase the

mobility of the shoulder joint.

Hand wheels:

Enables elbow-flexing movements to be performed in a

synchronized manner. Its aims are to rehabilitate, maintain or

increase the elbow's flexibility. The coordination of movements

and effort is greater than that exerted on hand wheels because

the two handles rotate in the same direction.

Maze circuit:

This works on hand-eye coordination and dexterity by performing movements

that call for precision and respond to a visual stimulus. Its aims are to maintain

and increase dexterity in movements, improving the flexibility of the elbow,

shoulder and hand.

Wave circuit:

This works on hand-eye coordination and dexterity by performing

movements that call for precision and respond to a visual stimulus.

Its aims are to maintain and increase dexterity in movements, improving

the flexibility of the elbow, shoulder and hand.

Página 8 de 20

Hand pedals:

These train and increase the muscular resistance of the upper

limbs. Their aim is to maintain or increase dexterity in

movements and improve the mobility and flexibility of the arms

and wrists.

The effort required is less than that expended on hand wheels

because the two grip handles rotate in opposite directions (one

hand can help the other to perform the exercise).

Hand tensor:

These train and increase the muscular strength, mobility and the flexibility of the arms

and wrists.

Arm wheels:

These are for performing strength-building

and flexibility exercises with the arms and

improve shoulder, arms and wrist joints. The

level of difficulty can be modified by

performing the turning exercises in different

directions or in the same direction.

Twin exercise pulleys:

This equipment exercises and moves arm muscles and joints through

passive poleotherapy, i.e. without effort. Its aims are to work on

improving the control of the elbow and shoulder joints, which may

be restricted in terms of mobility and pain due to several possible

causes.

Double backrest:

This can work on any part of the body: abdomen, hips, legs, arms, buttocks, back and calves.

The aim is to perform full stretching movements of all parts of the body. Stretching movements

should be done after the exercise to relax the muscles and allow them to recover their normal

state.

Exercising the legs: Parallel bars:

Helps to improve the mobility of the legs and the

ability to control the body without losing one's balance.

Its aims are to maintain the patient's everyday

independence and functionality, preventing problems

such as falls, unsteadiness or situations in which

autonomy is lacking.

Once the subject has performed safe exercises on the

parallel bars, he or she can move on to doing exercises

on stairs and ramps.

Steps and staircases:

These help to improve walking, both on flat terrain and

on ramps and stairs (which involves greater difficulty).

Their aims are to help the subject lead an active

lifestyle, facilitating independence and getting out of

the house, where steps and ramps are frequently

encountered. Steps at different heights.

Pedals:

This equipment helps to train and build up leg endurance,

increase flexibility and improve the knee joints. They aim to

maintain and improve leg mobility, increase muscle resistance

and strengthen the cardiovascular system.

Boheler Plate and Board:

For flexo-extension, inversion-reversion and

circumduction exercises of the foot. Its aims are to

make gains in terms of the arc of movement, to

increase or maintain the flexibility of the foot and

ankle, which will help patients to improve their

balance, coordination and proprioception of the

lower limbs.

Disc, seesaw, step unit:

Helps to strengthen the muscles and joints of the back, hip, waist and legs, as well as improve

coordination and balance; thus enhancing the flexibility of the lumbar region and relaxing the

back muscles.
